CIA Spy: "Leave The USA Before 2030!", "Why You Shouldn't Trust Your Gut!", "I Held The Nuclear Codes Around My Neck" - Andrew Bustamante
The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
A spy explains 4 Basic Motivations: Reward, Ideology, Coercion, Ego
The four basic motivations that drive people's actions are reward (fulfilling desires), ideology (strong beliefs such as religion or morals), coercion (negative influences like guilt or blackmail), and ego (self-perception).
